Abstract

A bracelet ( 10 ) for a portable object ( 1 ) including a first strand ( 11 ) and a second strand ( 12 ), each of the strands ( 11, 12 ) including a first end able to be attached to a case ( 2 ) of the portable object ( 1 ), wherein the first strand ( 11 ) includes a first optical device ( 21 ) having a first diameter (L1); the second strand ( 12 ) includes a second optical device ( 22 ) having a second diameter (L2), smaller than the first diameter (L1) of the first optical device ( 21 ), the first optical device ( 21 ) and the second optical device ( 22 ) being configured so that the superposition of the first optical device ( 21 ) and of the second optical device ( 22 ), by the superposition of the first strand ( 11 ) and of the second strand ( 12 ), forms a microscope having an eyepiece constituted by the first optical device ( 21 ) and an objective constituted by the second optical device ( 22 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bracelet ( 10 ) for a portable object ( 1 ) comprising a first strand ( 11 ) and a second strand ( 12 ), each of the strands ( 11 ,  12 ) comprising a first end able to be attached to a case ( 2 ) of the portable object ( 1 ), wherein:
 the first strand ( 11 ) comprises a first optical device ( 21 ) with a first diameter (L1);   the second strand ( 12 ) comprises a second optical device ( 22 ) with a second diameter (L2), smaller than the first diameter (L1) of the first optical device ( 21 );   
       the first optical device ( 21 ) and the second optical device ( 22 ) being configured so that the superposition of the first optical device ( 21 ) and the second optical device ( 22 ), by the superposition of the first strand ( 11 ) and the second strand ( 12 ), forms a microscope having an eyepiece constituted by the first optical device ( 21 ) and an objective constituted by the second optical device ( 22 ). 
     
     
         2 . The bracelet ( 10 ) for a portable object ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the first optical device ( 21 ) is a first optical lens.
